rich array of flora and fauna, with unique ecosystems supporting diverse species of birds, insects, and wildlife, some of which are not native to the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>This diversity captivated the naturalist <strong>Gerald Durrell<\/strong>, who extensively documented Corfu\u2019s biodiversity during his family\u2019s stay on the island from 1936 to 1940.<\/p>\n<p>Among the island&#8217;s most dominant trees is the <strong>olive<\/strong>, which forms a key part of Corfu\u2019s landscape, alongside abundant <strong>citrus fruits<\/strong>. Tall, slender <strong>cypress trees<\/strong>, a reminder of Corfu\u2019s Italian heritage, are also widespread across the island.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Corfu receives the highest rainfall in Greece, resulting in its fertile soil. In theory, this allows the island to be self-sufficient in agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>However, the rise of tourism and other economic factors have shifted the local population toward other forms of livelihood.<\/p>\n<h2>Useful Telephone Numbers and Tips<\/h2>\n<div class=\"narrow-box\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Emergency Services (Police, Fire, Ambulance): 112<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Police: 100<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fire Department: 199<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ambulance Service: 166<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Medical Services<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Corfu General Hospital: +30 26610 88200<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>First Aid (Emergency Medical Assistance): +30 26610 28258<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Pharmacy On-Call Service: +30 26610 41100<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Transportation<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Corfu International Airport &#8220;Ioannis Kapodistrias&#8221;: +30 26610 89600<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Corfu Port Authority: +30 26613 65200<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>KTEL Corfu (Intercity Bus Service): +30 26610 30627<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Taxi Service: +30 26610 33811<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Tourist Information<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Tourist Police: +30 26610 39590<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Corfu Tourist Information Office: +30 26610 37633<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Other Useful Numbers<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Municipality of Corfu: +30 26613 62100<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Public Power Corporation (DEI): +30 26610 38000<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Water Supply and Sewerage Company (DEYAK): +30 26610 39910<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p>These numbers can be very helpful for both residents and visitors in various situations.<\/p>\n<h3>Helpful Things to Know<\/h3>\n<div class=\"narrow-box\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Language<\/strong>: Greek is the official language, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Currency<\/strong>: Euro (\u20ac).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Etiquette<\/strong>: Greeks are known for their hospitality.
